This activity is designed to help students understand the difference between background sources and scholarly sources. Students will read a quick overview of the key differences between these source types, and then they will be asked to classify five sample sources. For each source, they will make an initial judgment based on a screenshot and then take a closer look at the full source to see if their gut instinct was correct. Correct answers and explanations are provided for each source.This activity is suitable for in-person, synchronous online, and asynchronous online instruction. It is self-paced and takes most students between 10 and 15 minutes to complete. The activity is hosted on Microsoft Sway, and it can be completed on a computer, tablet, phone, or any device with an internet connection.

This is a brainstorming activity in which students work in groups that each spend time (approx. 2-3 min.) at 3 different stations. I typically tape each sheet (there are 3, see attachment) to one of those large, self-adhesive Post-It sheets, which I in turn put up on a wall; in other words, there are 3 big Post-It sheets around the classroom, each with one question sheet taped to it. I put 1 or 2 colored markers at each station. The first rotation can be a bit of a challenge because students are just getting those brain juices flowing! Then the next rotation, students are building off of the group that was just there before them; that's usually a little easier. By the third and final rotation it gets a little challenging again coming up with new ideas and building off of previous ones. I try to liven it up by setting a 2-3 minute timer on my phone where it plays "Baby Shark" or something fun like that when it's time to rotate. 🙂🦈

Students will review the citations from multiple relevant journal articles to identify the types of sources that are often cited. They will also be encouraged to consider why certain types of sources may be more cited than others, and what may be missing by relying primarily on certain types of sources. In addition, students will get practice in identifying the appropriate citation format for different types of sources.
